so, today was the first official day of my training for my walk in april and it went pretty well. I went to a different local park that is longer and a little more scenic. it's 2 miles. i only walked it once today but am going to slowly increase the distance until i do the 5 miles. i'd have to walk it 2.5 times to equal 5 miles. it's a good start though. i feel pretty good physically and it helps me keep my depression in check. it's a good sense of accomplishment too; to know that i am actually working towards a goal.

headed to a Rockets basketball game in a half hour. my mom got us box tickets through her job so we'll have free food and drinks. they always have an awesome fruit and veggie tray looking forward to it!

Good morning ladies. Really quick post this morning. Yesterday food was terrible. Today should be better, but the scale is up 3 pounds today. I'm sure it is mostly the sodium, which I have become very sensitive to. Today is going to be housework day. Then we are going to take the kiddos to the pool for a while. I may or may not work out today, since the gym doesn't open until noon.

W 100 oz
E ? maybe a walk this morning with the family. Then swiming at the pool
E stick to 1400 calories. No snacking eat what I now works.
D housework. No snacking. Not let the jump in the scale bug me. It is how my pattern normally is.

Busy day today, I worked this morning then as soon as I got home DH went in to work. Sewer backed up yesterday so had to wait until about an hour ago until they could send someone out. Almost 500 bucks later I can now start on the 8 loads of laundry waiting to be done and run the dishwasher! Fortunately, I took a shower at work this morning so at least I'm clean Doing well today, planning a nice salad for dinner and maybe a hot chai before bed. Saw 163 yesterday morning so hopefully it holds until Tuesday!

W - 64+ (really need to work on this, been slacking with the water lately)
E - did I mention the 8 loads of laundry that's in my basement?
E - OP
D - kids room done, now on to the living room/dining room painting (will it never end!)

Popcorn - glad to see you back!

JENI - you're right in it's probably just the sodium, tomorrow it'll be gone. Have fun at the pool!

The more research I do, the more confused I get. There are so many different recommendations out there. However, one thing the all seem to have in common is higher calories. So I am going to stick with 1600-1700 a day for a month. Gotta stick with one thing for a while. If that doesn't do anything, I can try something else. If only someone could give me one concrete answer, I would stick with it.

Mindy~Thats the confusiing thing about weight loss. No two people lose the same way. I hope this is the answer for you. You have worked so hard for so long.

Emily~I hated when I couldn't do laundry for a couple of days, first my pipes were frozen then my washer broke. I am glad you are back in business today.

Popcorn I hope things settle down for you. I'm glad to see you, and cant wait till you are weeding again!

Jeanette~congrats on a good day yesterday. I hope today is as good too!

Onestar~You will do great on your 5 miles!! I am so glad you are committed to it!

I made it into the gym for a quickie workout today. another 10. 6 miles on the bike. Its great feeling the muscles I don't normally work when I run. BOY do I feel it. Maybe I will start triathalon training. There is a class going on right now, another one starts in march. I will have to start swiming though. \
Getting ready to head to the pool. (I have my nephew today, it was a suprise.)
